East Bristol (Sun Prairie): Tire Capitol of Wisconsin, Weber's Tires. If you've been there, you know what I'm talking about.
I currently live in De Pere (Green Bay) "GO PACK GO"

We all know how DePere got its name: So the story is: Many many moons ago there were some Native Americans canoeing up the Fox River when one of the canoes tipped over spilling it's occupants into the water. When one of the Indians cleared to the surface of the water he exclaimed to the others, "Holy crap the water is deep here!" (Get it, DePere).

Waterloo Iowa
Home of Michele Bachmann,Dan Gable,John Wayne Gacy,and Corey Taylor vocalist from Slipknot and Stonesour.
We make John Deere tractors, Snack Pack pudding,Tyson meats,and Bertch and Omega cabinets.

Also was my hometown for 49years. Headed back this weekend for BlackHawks hockey.
Sad to say Waterloo is now famous for drugs, shootings and the new downtown sports complex that they are spending $$$.
But there are good people in the town, hoping to see a few this weekend.

My present town is famous for "Beer flows thru the water tower" AKA Iron Liver
